Welcome to Free Republic. Enjoy your stay.
I think McCain will win but I’m voting conservative anyway.
You sign up today to pimp your blog?
I’ll read your article (i agree w/ some of what i skimmed), but you would have more credibility if you actually had a history here first.
Welcome to FR.
Kiss my a$$.
The amount of havoc Obama and the Ayers marxists can wreak in four short years would be catastrophic. This isn't about "party loyalty." It isn't about being a "dutiful Republican." It is about whether we will even have the freedoms we currently enjoy after 4 years have transpired.
If McCain is president, at the very least, we do not have to worry that he will sell out the country.
USSC Justices my friend is where the future lies for you and your children etc. We just won our 2nd amendment rights by a hair. That can all be lost with this one election. Get ready to bend over.
I am not impressed with your stance at all. I too am a Republican, but I am a Christian and American first.
Not voting for McCain is like giving aid to Obama, who is the Anti-Christ , anti-American, empty suit socialist.
You can aid and abet Osama errr Obama if you want, I will have no part in it. Country First!
Vote your conscience and live with your choice.
Oh by the way Rick Mave, I am not going to hit on your shameless self promotion of your blog link that is giving aid and comfort to Obama.
Add the fact that the Supreme Court will have openings this next presidential term and it is a no-brainer for republicans to vote for McCain, because who do you want to nominate judges to the highest court in the land? Obama? Can you say “Ruth Bader-Ginsberg” again and again?
Like all those supposed conservative or republican callers to C-SPAN, you know, the ones that start the call with “I am a conservative/republican, but no more. . . “, I suspect you are one of those.
Welcome to FR.
Someone forgot to clean the kitty litter?
First it was get in your face posts, then you were disinfranchised republican voters who wished change.. Now you are republican conservatives who have seen the light and will vote for obama because you want Mccain to lose so that the RNC will then pick a more conservative candidate to beat obama.
I beginning to smell napalm.
No thanks Dick!
Ok you are saying that John McCain is the same as Barry who is an anti-semitic anti-white anti-American bigot...huh?
And it makes no difference who the president is, huh?
Wow are you wrong or what.
Jeez, here we go.
The time to be your own maverick is between elections when you can start mobilizing people to actually have a say in the nomination process. How come you jokers always come out of the woodwork when it’s too late already, and promptly disappear afterwards?
I’m not a party loyalist by any means, but I will NOT sit back and let some stuttering, wishy-washy, self-absorbed Marxist tool take the helm of this country. If you think that we’ll be repealing nationalized health care after 2012, you’re in for a very rude surprise.

Is it? I mean is it really? It’s not like he’s advocating voting for Obama. He’s just saying he wants to vote for somebody who he believes will be better-suited than McCain.
Besides that, didn’t Jesus say not to be afraid because he has overcome the world? In the end, a thousand years from now, will this election really matter? I think not.
But doing right. That always matters. Even if it doesn’t “pay off” in the here-and-now.

You are quite free to say and do so. However, I must say that I think the original poster is correct that if want the Republican party to reform, then we need to show/demand it in the form of voting for the person we think that is most qualified, even if not the Republican candidate.
Right now, I’m leaning more toward voting for Ron Paul. I like his stance on a lot more things than either the Democrat or Republican candidates.

Ahhh I see, the Republican party needs reform and you are leaning toward Ron Paul who is a Libertarian. What a load of crock. Ron Paul should be running on the Libertarian ticket, he was invited to do so, but he just wants to complain about the Republican party, because he knows the libertarian can not win. Throw your vote away and vote for Ron Paul, Cyntnia McKinney, Ralph Nader, it is your right, absolutely! But at the end of the election when Barack Hussein Obama is sworn in to the Oval Office, I know you will know you did the right thing, even though it was not the right thing for America.
If you’ll allow me to explain. I don’t believe that Barak Obama as president would be the WORST thing that ever happened to America; I think that the military would step in if he started becoming another Hitler (like some people have said, or implied). (And yes, there are some parallels, but in politics there ALWAYS are parallels to some great lesson in history.) What would be bad, truly more terrible, would be an America which had no moral strength or integrity.
I for one don’t want to see a popularity contest here. I want to see the ‘how’ and ‘why’ for solutions put forth. Sure there’s the “Change” camping, but change what? and how? Are we talking a sex-change? That’s a change.
And lastly, I don’t vote Republican because of a little R on my registration card, when I vote Republican, it’s because I agree more with the candidate than most other candidates.
So what if I “waste my vote”? I went to Iraq because my country needed me to... and guess what? Now they get to vote for their political leaders! (In addition, I now know that I do NOT ever want to be a prison guard in the civilian sector.... unless it pays in excess of $2 million a year and there’s no obligation to stay on past a year, then we can talk.)
My point is that if the Iraqi people could be put under a horrible political system for decades, in addition to the horrid injustices, and then come out on top with some hope... what’s stopping us from being able to do the same for a mere four years?
Remember that Saddam killed [or had killed] thousands on thousands of his own countrymen. If any American President tried to do the same, I am confident that both myself and my fellow service members would be able, willing, and justified in forcibly removing him from office... and that isn’t treason we’re talking, it’s our oath to protect from enemies, both foreign and domestic.
